I was very excited to present my current work at NIST on the spectroscopy and progress towards laser cooling MgF at APS Damop 2022! #aps #damop22 #damop #molecules #lasercooling #laser

David Hilbert knew that every smooth cubic surface — a twisty shape defined by third-degree polynomials — contains exactly 27 straight lines. Hilbert used those lines to construct a simple formula for the roots of any 9th degree polynomial in one variable. https://t.co/J7YYWsLftn

Women of color often face discouragement and hostile environments in STEM. @BryneHadnott reports how @AlxndriaTH3Gr8, @Astrenome, @onlyayanna_, and @theWOCproject plan to increase representation with annual workshops on applying for grad school.

Very excited to announce my group has a new paper out! I’m no longer on this experiment, but I built a lot of the laser system currently used for spectroscopy on AlCl. Check it out my friends! https://t.co/EcebbyyL13

A lot of physicists are more focused on weeding students out of their programs and degrees than teaching them. Makes sense that this reasoning doesn’t fall in line with physics education research!

[PERbites @PERbites]

Intro "weed-out" courses are often justified with the logic that if you can't do well in this course, you won't do well in the rest of the major courses. But today's paper suggests this line of reasoning isn't true. Read the first post by @EliasEuler. https://t.co/ad7weHfU5b

Oo this is super cool 🤩

Online this week: Formulating and testing candidate Hamiltonians for quantum systems from experimental data is difficult, because you can't directly observe the interactions present in the system. But now we have an automated protocol to overcome this ch… https://t.co/v8MU3mW8g2

Throughout grad school + college ppl always told me I didn’t look like a physicist. One of the things that keep me returning to my classroom with energy and enthusiasm is the chance to model for my students that physicist can look however they want #thisiswhataphysicistlookslike

By using qubit-based detectors, physicists may be able to speed up searches for dark matter by a factor of 1000 or more, researchers at @UChiPhysics, @Fermilab, and @UCBerkeley find. https://t.co/y9VP8yzpqE

When will physics wake up and stop being so racist and sexist?

They are grad students. They are professors. They work in industry. These interviews with 14 Black scientists demonstrate the barriers to Black people’s participation in physics and suggest changes to make the field more welcoming. (From 2020) #BHM https://t.co/1GBaaQTCs8
